Kiki Pan 320 is in the house. Many thanks, Dan K @zdp189.bsky.social and Camera Film Photo HK. Neat to see developing times along with more cat goodness inside the box. Results to follow.

@johnfar.com and I chat with @debrawilsonsays.bsky.social to unpick the mysteries of the lost mojo - and more things beside. Was a fun chat. #believeinfilm #filmphotography podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

I have been having some fun with triptychs recently. This is my first attempt, created in the Lightroom Classic print module. The photographs of a local skatepark were made a while ago using my ONDU pinhole camera and Fomapan 200 film. #believeinfilm #filomphotography #filmisnotdead

Another rainy day in Port Alice here on Vancouver Island.

Almost the last light of the day at San Josef Bay on January 30, 2026. Fujifilm X-Pro2 Fujinon XF 23mm f2 R WR #capescottprovincialpark #sanjosefbay #vancouverisland #vancouverislandtourism #beautifulbc #fujifilm #fujifilmxseries

One day you'll just up and quit And that'll be it Leica M5 50mm f2 Kodak 200T

Another misty walk in the woods - Nikon 1 J1 & 10mm lens (thanks to @donkeyislandpress.co.uk )

San Josef Bay is in Cape Scott Provincial Park, close to the northwest tip of Vancouver Island. I travelled there with friend, and fellow photographer, @drakedyck.bsky.social on January 30th. We arrived with only 1.5 hours of daylight left. Contre-jour lighting can be a challenge. #vancouverisland

Experiments for a new series- tea toned Cyanotypes.

“Vivid” from the @photozinecoll.bsky.social arrived today. So into colour photography these days (only because I now make RA4 prints) so lovely to see others work in print. All to a great cause as well. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Back in July, I photographed an outdoor performance of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors on behalf of the Cowichan Public Art Gallery. The play was presented by The Shawnigan Players and took place in the garden of the gallery. Yes, it is a comedy. Fujifilm X-Pro2 #fujifilmxseries

My last set for October's #folderweek. Saturday was a dry day, so I went to nearby Duncan here on Vancouver Island. This place definitely has its little quirks. Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16 and Ilford HP5+ developed in D23. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

On my way home from Victoria on the Friday of October's #folderweek, I stopped in Mill Bay to photograph this old wooden church. The rain had stopped, and the sun even made a brief appearance. Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16, Ilford HP5+ developed in D23. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

October's #folderweek was a challenge, with mobility issues and lots of rain. I managed two outings with my Nettar 517/16, exposing just one roll of HP5+, dev in D23. On the Friday, I had an appointment in Victoria, so afterwards I went over to Fisherman's Wharf. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Two more photos for Half Frame Friday - taken last Friday. Camera: Pentax 17 Film: Kodak Portra 400 #HFF #halfframefriday #believeinfilm

A brief pause on my way home from Victoria. The rain gave way to cloud, and even a little sun while I exposed a couple of frames on Ilford HP5+ with my Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16. #folderweek

My Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16 got a little wet. Not too much, just a little. Am I a bad person? Fisherman’s Wharf, Victoria BC. #folderweek

Enjoying a coffee and bagel at Imagine Studio Cafe in Victoria BC. Outside the rain is pouring down putting a damper on proceedings. #folderweek #zeissikon517/16 #ilfordhp5+

Revisiting some older photographs, this one from August 2013. This old tree is at the side of the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet, British Columbia. Fujifilm X-E1. #fujifilm #fujifilmxseries #fujifilmxe1 #blackandwhitephotography #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia 20s

I bought a combined laser rangefinder and exposure meter. It is an L.D. Meter from CHI. Here it is on my Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16. The meter works well, but the red laser dot can be hard to see, especially in bright light. It may be out of place on a 70 approx. year-old camera. #folderweek

#FolderWeek starts in one week, on October 19. The idea is to shoot a folding camera for the eeek, sharing photos when you can. Remember, if it folds, it’s a folder. Please remember to use the hashtag. Also, please share photos of your folding camera out in the wild. #BelieveInFilm

Sometimes I photograph the strangest things for no particular reason other than I like what I see. Nikon FE, Eastman XX 5222 film developed in D23. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #shootfilmbenice #filmphotography #blackandwhitephotography #vancouverisland #cowichanvalley #britishcolumbia

Revisiting a subject after three years. Clean and tidy in '22, less so in '25. Then - Mamiya C330f with Ilford XP2 Super. Now - Nikon FE with Eastman XX 5222. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #blackandwhitephotography #shootfilmbenice #vancouverisland #cowichanvalley

My last roll of ADOX Silvermax 100, which was discontinued in '21. I exposed a few frames at a time while it sat in my Pentax Spotmatic F for months. Finally finished the roll last weekend and developed it in ADOX FX-39 II. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #blackandwhitephotography #filmphotography

Sharp focus is not always important. 1/30 sec at f2 and slightly shaky hands. Pentax Spotmatic F, 50mm f1.4 SMC Takumar lens ADOX Silvermax 100 film dev. in ADOX FX-39 II #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #shootfilmbenice #filmphotography #blackandwhitephotography #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia

Wandering here and there close to home. Nikon FE, 24mm f2.8 AI-S lens Kodak XX 5222 film developed in D23 #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #shootfilmbenice #filmphotography #moviefilm #blackandwhitephotography #cowichanvalley #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia

Tip of the day - switch off the news, remove click bait news apps from your phone, pick up a photo book , go out with a camera or make some prints (however you want to) in short your life will be happier and less stressful. #photography #believeinfilm

Please enjoy my cartoon in today's Toronto Star

I just backed 'The Edge of Ruin' on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/107... Marc makes some of the most thought-provoking and sensitive work in contemporary photography - if you can please back this project.

Scanning my old negs and slides, some dating back to the late 60s. It goes in fits and starts as the whim takes me. Once in a while, a photograph will grab my attention. Florence, Italy, 1979. Pentax Spotmatic. Kodak Ektachrome converted to B&W in Nik 8 Silver Efex. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Not a cloud to be seen while cooking outside this evening. #iphonephotography #phonephotography #cowichanvalley #vancouverisland

From my first roll of Kentmere 200 dev in ADOX FX39 II. I was going to use D23, but thought two firsts would not be a good idea. Camera: Mamiya C330f, 80mm f2.8. I will reserve my final opinion until I have used the film under various lighting conditions. OK so far. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Another photograph from my recent visit to Jack Point and Biggs Park near Nanaimo. This time using Fomapan 100 film in my mid-1950s Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16. Film developed in ADOX FX39 II. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #zeissikon #filmisnotdead #blackandwhitephotography #vancouverisland

Visited Jack Point and Biggs Park near Nanaimo last Friday along with @drakedyck.bsky.social. It was a warm and largely cloudless day, so the light was very harsh. These photographs were taken with my Fuji X-Pro2. I also exposed a few 6 x 6 frames on Fomapan 100 film.

Important information discovered while out for a walk in Stoney Hill Regional Park today. 😎 #StonyHill #cowichanvalley #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia

I have been revisiting some film scans. This one is from Feb '24. ONDU 6 x 12 Rise pinhole camera and Ilford FP4+ film. I added the sepia tone and border in Nik 7 Silver Efex. Please click the photo to view. #pinholephotography #believeinfilm #filmphotography #blackandwhitephotography #IlfordFP4+

It is hard to believe that our last visit to Newfoundland was 12 years ago this month. Last night we attended a wonderful live performance by two well-known folk musicians from the rock. Now we long to return. #fujifilm_xseries #newfoundland #newfoundlandandlabrador

Wednesday was a warm day here, reaching 28°C in the afternoon. Few better places to find some shade than a forest. In this case, the temperate rainforest of Vancouver Island near Glenora. Fujifilm X-Pro2, Fujinon 35mm f1.4 lens. #blackandwhitephotography #vancouverisland #cowichanvalley

Urban beautification in Duncan, BC. Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16, Kentmere 400 developed in HC110. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #blackandwhitephotography #zeissikon

My one photograph from April 27, Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. ONDU 6 x 12 Rise pinhole camera set to 6 x 6. Kentmere 100 developed in HC110. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #worldwidepinholephotographyday #WPPD #ONDU #pinholecamera #kentmere100

My copy of Opaque by The Photozine Collective has arrived, complete with a couple of bonus postcards of 'The Darkshed' by Ian Wallace, and a personal thank you note from Yant Martin-Keyte. I know what I will be doing this evening. Excellent work, everyone! @photozinecoll.bsky.social

New Blog Post! The Photozine Collective announces their new photobook, "Opaque" with profits going to Asthma & Lung UK in memory of John Whitmore who inspired us to start this venture. jimgravesphoto.blogspot.com/2025/05/opaq... #photozinecollective #photozine #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm

@chrisbone.bsky.social Spread the word my friend.

Making sure I have at least one shot for Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. Lots going on today but will try to squeeze in a few more. #WPPD #believeinfilm #filmphotography #ONDU #worldwidepinholephotographyday

A selection of images for #folderweek made using my Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16. The first set is from a visit to the BC Forest Discovery Centre on April 19th. Ilford FP4+ developed in HC110 1+31. 1/2 #believeinfilm #filmphotography #blackandwhitephotography
